As a young person, Razor (Peter Reynolds) was told that he would amount to nothing. School wasn’t easy for him; he would often find excuses not to go to class and was easily distracted when he was there. He was diagnosed with Dyslexia in his teens, but had already decided by then that school wasn’t for him.
Razor was then given the opportunity to enter the British army, which consequently changed his life. It was in the army that Razor was given the skills and passion to invest in himself and others. Razor spent 13 years in the Elite Illustrious 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, then four years in the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment. He completed ten tours of duty and visited a number of countries along the way.
Razor left the army in 2014. Slightly wiser, now married, with two kids of his own, he realised a lot of his life had been about mentoring and being a role model. He is passionate about helping young people (who remind him of his younger self) – recognising they have a need to be given life-enhancing tools. Razor’s passion is to see young people become healthier versions of themselves and grow through life’s challenges.
Razor is now the owner of Johnson & Couzins Hire Ltd – Marquee Hire and chooses to employ struggling young people whom he can mentor and give the dignity of work. He has himself as a model – moving from a struggling youth to army Commendations and now owning his own company. It can be done!
